Description

This is my simple method for making dairy kefir, a probiotic milk beverage with many health benefits.

Ingredients

Scale

1–2 Tbls kefir grains (this is my favorite source)
1 quart raw, grass-fed milk

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Place kefir grains in a clean, wide-mouth quart-sized glass jar
Pour milk over top and cover jar with plastic lid.
Allow to culture for 24 hours or more, until you can see that milk has thickened and there are bubbles that have made “tracks” up the sides of the glass.
Strain out kefir grains in a plastic colander over a large bowl.
Store finished kefir in the fridge until consuming as a drink, in smoothies, or in other recipes.
Repeat steps 1-4 with the kefir grains.

Notes

There are multiple options for purchasing good quality kefir grains. My favorite source is Fusion Teas, but you can also purchase from Cultures for Health, Yemoos, or swap with others who are willing to share in this Facebook group.
